I was wondering how many of you have worked in the healthcare field as a cna or volunteer before you got accepted into a nursing program. I am having trouble getting accepted and I have had a 4.0 GPA for the last 3 semesters, as well as overall GPA 3.7. I have already obtained my Bachelor's degree in biology. I thought perhaps if I g et certified as a CNA or obtain a good volunteer job. (which I have a spot in a volunteer training class at this local clinic in 1 week) Should I contact the 2 schools that rejected me and ask to speak to someone about it?

I've applied to 2 nursing schools and got rejected by both. I have a Bachelor's degree in biology but have been working as a waitress for the last 6 years. I took a few brush up classes at local community college and got all A's. I was wondering if i should take the 6 week CNA course and start there, maybe that will give me an advantage when I rea-apply.
